“Wonderful sitter! Followed all care instructions carefully, maintained my dog’s schedule, and communicated consistently throughout the stay. My dog appeared well cared for and relaxed when I returned. My home was alsoleft in excellent condition. I would gladly book again.”

“Paige was fantastic with my dog and new pup! She took great care of them and gave them both lots of love and care! Would 10/10 recommend her to house sit anytime! She was great with the boys and made sure the new pup went out in a timely manner each time he ate! Will definitely be booing her again to dog sit!”

“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”


About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student with hands on animal care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can fully trust, so I focus on providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pet feels safe and loved! Whether its walks, playtimes, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while creating a fun, calm, and caring experience for their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and is something I prioritize and plan around. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends depending on the day. I’m able to accommodate regular visits, drop-ins, walks, and feeding schedules, and I make sure to build my commitments around each pet’s needs. I’m reliable with timing and communication, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are being checked on and cared for as planned. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific behavioral needs or preferences each pet has. I make sure doors are secured, litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and the space is kept tidy and comfortable. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and giving them gentle attention and reassurance. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping everything clean and leaving things exactly as I found them. My goal is always to ensure both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while I’m there.

Iam patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected or the pet doesn’t feel scared or anxiety. Look for someone who handles your pet affectionately and never uses physical punishment or force.

I am currently employed part-time at Papa Pal, and I am available to work weekdays starting at 10 AM or anytime after 3 PM, though I am also more than happy to remain flexible and work around your specific scheduling needs to ensure everything runs smoothly. I have a very friendly fur baby who is trained exceptionally well, and since I prioritize her health by feeding her organic meals and healthy snacks, I am also fully prepared to crate one of your dogs if you have two pets that do not get along, ensuring that everyone receives the safe, individual attention they deserve.
About: I've had dogs and cat my entire life and loved every single one. I am experienced, loving, firm, and capable. I consider your pets as members of your family who deserve love, care, and structure when you must be away. I currently have a German Shepherd dog, Gustav,d that is my service dog and I trained him with licensed SD trainers. I also have a Belgian Malinois rescue, Mata Hari, who is beginning SD training as well. My cat, Spider Monkey, is a Manx and she rules our house. You can completely trust me to take care of all your pets and their needs when you need help. I currently work as a server/bartender some days and evenings. I will structure my schedule to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I can care for select dogs in my home using a crate for indoor safety, when needed, and keeping them leashed when outdoors. I have two dogs that love playing with other dogs.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I was called “Dr. Do-little!” So once I was able to I started working in the veterinary field! I started working in the kennel, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, feeding, play times and extra snuggles with the cats. Eventually I worked my way up to veterinary technician and went to school for it. During all my years I learned all about dog/cat breeds. I learned about dogs body languages and signs I need to know to make sure they are always comfortable and also got to learn some training tricks along the way too! Now being retired I use all this knowledge while caring for pets and sometimes still teaching pet owners. My passion and love for animals is still as strong as it was as a little girl and I can’t wait to love on all your fur-babies! Hi there!! I’m a retired veterinary technician with 10+ years of experience caring for animals and advocating for their well-being. Now a dedicated stay-at-home and homeschooling mom, I want to help families care for their animals while they work! I can’t wait to get to know all your fur-babies :) Currently we live in an apartment on Mud Island in Memphis, Tennessee, we moved here from Virginia!! We have the best dog park less than a mile from our home, we have the best walking trails as well. We live on the bottom floor of our apartment so we have a lovely patio that we get to enjoy while watching the sunset or rise! I love to be outside when it’s nice out so most every morning my husband, myself and our daughter go for a 2 mile walk and nice evening walks!

About: I have had many animals over the years and still have many. I love dogs and cats, but all animals are worthy of great care. I have volunteered at the humane society and dealt with all types of needs for pets. I have had puppies in my house and have a knack for training. I am currently not working and would love to help people care for their pets. I have been driving for uber but am not able to anymore. I am available to work around your schedule and do what is needed for you and your pets In my home there are 4 dogs and 4.5 cats. .5 because my daughter adopted an outdoor stray that now sleeps in her room and has become part of our family. We also have fish and a gecko now, but in the past we have had almost every domestic pet you can think of. 😃
